Solo exhibition of 7 full scale objects and a selfdesigned cabinet of free hand sculpture scathes, few print's of big size photo/posters, and a movie- impressionistic quasi documentation showing a rough beauty of 'Raku' firing process. All garnished with improvised music provided by an instrumentalist who I invited for a cooperation in this project.

Open days in my private studio. Multidisciplinary event showing a wide variety of my artistic interests. Sculpted sketches, artistic tiles showing mix of abstract and figurative compositions, ceramic sculptures glazed in various technics, clay handmade udu drums all presented on unique, specially designed wooden exhibition furniture. All enriched witch life music and free music workshops provided by friends musicians.

Solo exhibition in an independent art club. Subject refers to the Venus from Willendorf. In original arrangement I presented a cycle of 5 ceramic female figures - a modern interpretation of an ancient theme. An idea born from a fascination witch the ancient history of ceramic creation, fused witch modern inspirations -imaginary robots and popculture.

An exhibition of ceramics being a part of a city event I partly coorganized witch a group of friends -artists and activists united in an unformal association 'Around the Square' in cooperation witch city institutions. Exposure of objects- potery and ceramic sculptures loosely related to the main slogan of the event.

A ministerial program aimed at supporting the art world during the pandemic. As part of the scholarship I set up an 'Online Gallery Of Creative Process' where I shared my work, but olso everyday struggles- successes and failures from the studio. I encouraged interaction and active participation in the world of art. Some of the acquaintances started during this period survived and resulted in fruitful artistic cooperations.
